Will OI32 ever be able to handle both click and doubleclick properly?

Hate to do this to you 'cos you're always very good at checking first but is this related to this?

Sprezzatura,
It's about the following things:
- A naive wish for all controls being able to do both click, doubleclick, rightclick, buttonup and buttondown
- A naive wish for controls being able to distinguish between click and doubleclick…
- …or just run both handlers; from that basis a developer can make a workaround
- A perhaps heretic wish for being able to violate the rule that doubleclick selects a word.
I might come back with a better reply after having got my thoughts together.
In the meantime here's what prompted my posting:
I have this array of bitmap controls in my form, showing thumbnails of n images related to the current row. If I click a thumbnail I want one particular thing to happen. If I doubleclick I want a different thing to happen. It doesn't matter if the click thing happens too. That's actually quite allright.
I don't think you need more details but here they are: What the click handler should do is to select the clicked thumbnail, which means showing a blue border around the thumbnail and updating some other controls in the form. The doubleclick handler should bring up an image viewer showing a full size version of the image.

Oystein,
OI 7.0 will have improved mouse handling. I can't promise it will cover all of your 'wish' list (including the heresies you are propagating) but it will definitely be better.
What are you currently doing to get the functionality you want?

Great!

Me propagating non-selecting doubleclick heresies? Not at all. All I want to do is to have this list box with some cute symbols from the Wingdings set I can doubleclick on.

Regarding that image array? All isn't implemented yet, but I plan to use a window BUTTONUP or BUTTONDOWN for click. I din't think I could have any doubleclick, so I'll use a menu item with a keyboard shortcut instead.
Do you see any way I can get doubleclick too? Windows have no DBLCLK event, and doubleclicking produces only one BUTTONUP/BUTTONDOWN as far as I can see, so I can't build my own. Can I get both click and doubleclick for my images by qualifying events?
